About Kafaalo
Kafaalo was founded in 2021 with the mission of providing relief to low-income and vulnerable communities in the Somali Region. The organization is registered with the Ethiopian Federal Authority for Civil Society Organizations with registration number 5061.
The word “Kafaalo” means “to help” in the Somali language. We believe that everyone has the right to live a life free from suffering, and we are committed to providing the help and support that people need to rebuild their lives.
We work in a variety of zones in SRS, providing food, water, shelter, medical care, and other essential services to those who are in need. We also work to provide education and training, so that people can build sustainable livelihoods and create a better future for themselves and their families.
Kafaalo is a non-profit organization, and we rely on the generosity of donors to continue our work. We are committed to transparency and accountability in our work and projects.
